RE: Night Disruption M44, etc.
Strela,
Can the recovery number in the pdf be lowered even more to .75 or .5? It makes sense that both sides had low recovery rates. Maybe not using the same recovery rate for each side would help. Russian units were on the end of an increasingly long tether. Recovery of strength was not significant as no Russian force was replenished in Kh43 campaign that I have read.
German repair groups were hampered by the appalling weather conditions and lack of the correct parts cause widespread cannibalization of recovered vehicles. I read some where there could easily be three to four vehicles in an Axis repair depot servicing one vehicle with cannibalized parts. Certainly the Axis units should not be allowed to return to full strength in just a few days.
I like your approach to this tough problem of balance. The German commander should have to make choices of where to commit to a counter attack, knowing excessive losses should things go bad can not be easily recovered before the next engagement.
@raizer - Sauron stacks! LOL! Are they 10 feet tall with maces that sweep out entire ranks with one swing? I called them "snowplows" in testing. Put two of these large battalions on a road and cover their flanks. They will plow the road to grab that VP location. It is just a matter of time.... not too much time either. A rate of a km per hour is very possible.
